David K Lappin comes on thepokergrid.com to discuss a hand with pocket fives, that was set in Vegas in the 1980s at Binion’s Horseshoe Casino.  David wrote the hand for a script in his life as a screen-writer long before he became a poker professional and podcast host. The hand itself puts listeners in the classic amateur’s quandary: you have ace-king but miss the flop. David goes on to explain what he finds lacking in most poker scenes, and how telling a good story about a hand in a movie compares to telling a good story to persuade your opponent to fold or call. 
 A vocal “frenemy” of the GRID, David and Jen joke about swapping years as “Podcast of the Year” for the GRID and the Chip Race, and why David is nicknamed “Scissorhands”, for his tight show edits. David also does his best rendition of Jennifer’s “send-off” at the end of each episode. 
You can find David on twitter and his website. Find his podcast the Chip Race on soundcloud. David and his co-host, author Dara O’Kearney, also host a new YouTube complement to the Chip Race, the “Lock-in”, which Jennifer recently appeared on. 
Now that David has discussed pocket fives, there are 132 combos left on thepokergrid.com.
